Went back today...not that badly crowded for a Saturday morning. There is something about that place, either the concrete floors or the fact that it's a huge walk through hangar after hangar, but it makes your feet hurt like all hell.
I wanted to play with the interactive land-on-an-aircraft-carrer challenge in the kids' area but there were kids playing with it, dammit. I COULD HAVE DONE IT, TOO! Instead, I held my kid up in the spacesuit for a photo op because it's just so droll.
Some more pics.
Upside-down in a dogfight exhibit...that mannequin must be strapped in there really well, but I entertained fun thoughts of museum patrons getting hit by dropping wigs/caps.
"Demilitarized" twin of the a-bomb dropped on Nagasaki. I know they go on at length about the museum being haunted, but to tell you the truth, the Bockscar exhibit is the only one I can't bring myself to get too close to.
Glenn Miller's cap and spare glasses.
Concentration camp uniform, which apparently is one of the very few in recognizable condition.
Artifacts from the Theresienstadt Ghetto.
Late-Generation Baader-Meinhof poster.
My own "highest step in the world" photo...this is in the Missile display, on the second level.
Air Force medal of honor. I took a picture of all the Air Force medals in a case, but it's hard to make them out individually.
Still failing flight school.
